Exploring Lake District dales : a guide to their landscape, history, culture and nature

Marsh, Terry, 1943-2025
Books
The Lake District has over 100 dales, many of them tranquil enclaves far from the hectic comings and goings of daily Lakeland life. Yet beyond the main river arteries, most dales remain little-known; some see more sheep and deer than humans. Even locals would be hard pressed to pinpoint some with certainty. Ticking your way through a list of Lake District summits is easy; they stick up and are easily accounted for. Less so the dales. Where, for example, is Blengdale, or Miterdale, seldom-visited Woundale, Fusedale, Moasdale and Pasture Bottom? Diving into their geology, geography, history, culture, folklore and matters of curious and touristic interest, this book reveals the beauty and appeal of dales, great and small.
